@john_brindle "use of objects" is good! "other uses"? "caution, please advise"? "other/extra affordance"?

affordance is a fucked up word in that it means a thing and also the incredibly contingent perception of that thing all at once

i keep trying to render gradients and getting mad about banding

like, it's fine if i get to write the shader, but that's not a thing with mp4 files

-
@nachimir tbh, that might work too

@ohhoe @softlandscapes this is what I think of as the minimal interesting example : cheapbotsdonequick.com/source/hashfacade

@ohhoe @softlandscapes the other place to start is by making SVGs in Inkscape/Illustrator, then looking at the source and varying/combining bits

@KommanderKlobb i assume this has to do with yr camera sensor having a rolling shutter?

@tigershungry @Thairyn All I want is The Perfect Two Weeks some time in the next 6 months.

@jawsew I am! It will be good.

@LydNicholas Yeah, Sacramento is definitely the most immediately beautiful. 10,000 Years is more oppressive than scary (nothing jumps at you!)

@tigershungry @Thairyn Yes please!

@whitingjp I am standing in a pub by the Thames with my dad and friends (so can't listen now), but I was already mentally starting a playlist, thanks.

@lauraehall @babbygoth @DMGToronto I wonder how linear it ends up being, on average...
-
@lauraehall @babbygoth Yeah, I mean, it's definitely loose/non-linear... And I know people who have seen it accidentally in v weird orders.
-
@lauraehall @babbygoth Bag of stones vs branching bush vs spider's web vs a braid. So many pretty narrative structures.
-
@lauraehall @babbygoth Oh! I'd love to hear more about those
-
@lauraehall @babbygoth This is a cool list largely of stuff I love and stuff I've been meaning to read for ages!
-
@lauraehall @babbygoth I am really excited to paw through your desk of secrets later this week!

@lauraehall @babbygoth Also (as it's on the shelf facing me now) : I can definitely recommend Pale Fire. And Stand on Zanzibar, though that's just about linear.

@auriea I'm serious! If you develop it further, just release a new version, or a new work in the same series
-
out of standing, walking and sitting, standing is by far the worst
-
@auriea Yeah, I feel this. It's a big constraint on what you make, that it'll get to a somewhat comprehensible thing frequently.
-
@auriea But then you look back at a course of experimentation and it's a series of Things not just sketches/thoughts, and that's useful to you, too

@chrisamaphone we implemented L-systems in our intro Haskell course. it's visual... but not too far from what you'd do.
-
you can mark out my struggling by looking at gaps from post to post. slow work, but i'm improving.
-
@tullyhansen join us in a community without that fifth glyph
-
@tullyhansen or, you could join bots off-world (adopt robot skin, hoping nobody will catch on)
-
@tullyhansen hard limit, although i'd shun social workarounds (as would folks who run it - bans could occur)
-
@jbushnell hah. you can say all things, i think. it's just hard work.
-
@jbushnell (and will spawn occasionally awkward phrasing)
-
@EthanBeihl @tullyhansen i should probably work on CBDQ support, possibly on a shiny individual shard of my own...
-
i just learned about @aparrish's divination class and 😍 eroft.decontextualize.com/
-
oh no, i am stuck saying things in this way within my brain now. i'm hoping it has worn off by morning.
-
@KommanderKlobb it's an oulipian constraint. what am i not typing?
-
@KommanderKlobb (uh, apart from that occasion in which i got it wrong. dismiss that from your mind)
-
@gillianmsmith @chrisamaphone @fishofdream @nettieb there's also an immediacy to visual stuff. you lack the context for abstract results to matter, so they want to be concrete.
-
@KommanderKlobb on Mastodon and this chain, yup. Who knows how long that'll last.
-
@merrittk Frank Sidebottom
-
@KommanderKlobb I think third party apps can log on? Not had a go at that myself so far.
-
@underskinnyhrt I swear by the ultimarc ipac, but that's probably even more $$$. But you can get cheap pawnshop controllers, open them, and solder to boards
-
@underskinnyhrt Then you either make a thing that connects each wire yourself, or connect to some arcade buttons.
-
@underskinnyhrt (I learned that trick from @SK_Louie, and he's got a lot more practice with it than me)
-
@underskinnyhrt @SK_Louie Oh! Also fun: copper slug tape. PITA to solder to, but it can be done (I've done it 80 odd times for the Doom Piano).
-
@PlayDorotop @scratch they're not stickers! they're nail varnish!
-
@underskinnyhrt basically it's: something that completes a circuit when you do a thing & something that converts a closed circuit to a computer signal
-
@underskinnyhrt the hacklab seems like a good idea (they'll have nice solder stations and wire, for one), but this stuff works more often than not
-
@underskinnyhrt Yah - Rasp Pis have GPIO pins, I think? And obv Arduinos can read pins easily (Firmata will get the signal onto your computer).
-
@underskinnyhrt (Makey Makey is an Arduino with a neat form factor and some resistors to make it super sensitive)
-
@underskinnyhrt @SK_Louie 😁🎨 (tbh stripping the wires was the worst bit)
-
@SK_Louie @underskinnyhrt EITHER I was young and foolish, OR the hackspace one of those was lost or broken or crappy or something. who knows
-
@ElectronDance whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. Little Mix is good, tho.
-
@GalaxyKate @catacalypto @logodaedalus @Wolven @lycrashampoo @karaastone @dustinfreeman can't we disagree over brunch? I'm hungry

@jawsew that many people doing good work don't get enough money from it
-
@jawsew I'm okay with gamer culture existing when it's possible to happily work here and ignore it. That's sometimes possible now?
-
@underskinnyhrt i don't know if it's better or worse to get to play with this stuff without an Event approaching rapidly...
-
@underskinnyhrt also: maybe talk to @joonturbo, see if he has any materials from running his controller workshop
-
@joonturbo @underskinnyhrt do you not need to do some stuff because of the multiplexing and traces on membranes?
-
@jawsew i'm on the cusp, yeah. i can think of people who seem to interact even less. but also i imagine it's much harder as a journo.
-
@ka_bradley @radionausea i went for "explain in (...)", but of course it varies. "don't translate" is probably my fav, but only works some times.
-
@ka_bradley @radionausea a footnote or a glossary is only good if they're enjoyable to read by themselves, a reward for cross-referencing
-
is the discourse game length now? people like playing short games, they just don't like paying for them

-
@netgal_emi an experiment in finding ways to sit with longer form games within an exhibition context (GL! was short, but the rest were longer)
-
@netgal_emi this year, we tried to set up Goodnight Traffic City and Karambola in a similar way
-
@netgal_emi not sure we've cracked the problem yet - suggestions on a postcard appreciated. and obviously there could be Twine work elsewhere...
-
@netgal_emi @Citrushistrix Get Lost! is interesting for this- built specifically to work in a public context: short playtime, big fonts, heavy branching
-
@netgal_emi I mean, imo, Twine as a scene is barely existent these days. Though it remains a good tool, and the people are largely still about.
-
@netgal_emi GTC & K are longer things to sit with... but the Awkward Arcade stuff tried to capture similar scratchy self-expression.
-
@netgal_emi Yes! The natural endpoint, for me, was merrit's book, which captured so much of the good work and commented on it
-
@netgal_emi I mean, flatgame stuff feels like where that urge is starting to pool, these days?
-
@Thairyn @netgal_emi @Citrushistrix I will carry a tiny Thryn in my head next time we put on a festival, and they can demand more and more holes to crawl into.
